Nice try cheesecakes.

My thought exactly lol. It’s trippy how we think alike. Now that I think about it, it’s probably due to those Thomas brothers commercials from many years ago we all watched in the US.

Recipe? They look so cute I’d love to try making them 🥹

they don't exist in England, a similar product is properly called a barm cake.

I'm not sure it's at all like a barm cake, these are closer to what the English would call a crumpet.
The OP simply hadn't cut them in half to show the holes.

Yeah they do. They are just called muffins.

They are nothing like crumpets. Crumpet holes are visible in the finished product. No cutting required. In England these are simply called muffins.

I dont know what recipe the OP uses, but I make these about one a month.

Never heard of a barm cake, but they do sell these in supermarkets where I live (I'm English) just as "muffins"

What do y'all call muffins??

Oddly, a muffin. Or an American muffin. See the video link.

Muffins should not have holes. They're like (fluffy) bread inside, it's the outside that's distinct from other bread products. Crumpets are made in rings with a bicarb batter - you can do it with yeast but it's not the same as a bread dough, it's much runnier.

https://www.ingredientsforcooks.co.uk/rolls-buns/traditional-english-muffins-48-x-72g/ This is what muffins should look like when cut open (and toasted). There is a pic on the same page of crumpets, with the holes, for the commenters here who apparently only know the US version.
OP, these look really good...

nope, crumpets are cooked on a hot top griddle like pancakes.

Not the Americans telling us this is a crumpet 😂 My friend these are the best looking, and only, muffins I've seen on Reddit. I shall retain my full judgement until I've seen one cut open, though

it can be a regional thing, in lancashire we buy chips on a barm (chip barm) at the fish and chip shop.

These are english muffins sometimes referred to as butter muffins. They have a completely different texture and density from baps/barms and you'll find them sold all over the country.
However if you are from Lancashire you'd more likely encounter Lancashire/Over Bottom Muffins which are a type of barm which may explain the mix-up especially as the Lancashire Muffins are browned in a way that makes them look exactly like English muffins.
